Low Carb Orange Almond Cake Bars Recipe

Occasionally, I like to ask on Facebook what people’s favorite recipes are this time of year. As a blogger, it helps me keep a finger on the kinds of recipes people enjoy most. And selfishly, it helps me enjoy everyone’s favorites as well when I try them out in my own kitchen.

This particular recipe is from Tara’s Multicultural Table. A reader told me they were one of her favorites. However, these were also a huge experiment in the kitchen. It’s not always easy to substitute wheat flour for a non-grain flour. You end up losing the gluten that holds everything together, which can become a really big mess.

But I futzed around with this until I got it and it actually turned out super delicious!! These are really more of a cake than a bar, but they are fun to slice up like bars for serving. Plus, smaller servings keep portions in check.

I think I’m kinda getting the hang of this low carb baking thing!! If nothing else, I always live a life of adventure in my kitchen…

Note: I’ve included amazon links in the recipes so that finding the ingredients is much easier. They are affiliate links, which means I make a small commission if you purchase through those links. It costs you nothing extra.

As a clean eater, I’ve become frustrated with the number of low carb recipes that call for a "box of something" as an ingredient. There are so many FAKE low carb foods out there. I mean, they are low in carbs, but the ingredients often leave me scratching my head.

I may not want carbs, but that doesn’t mean I want to replace them with chemicals and garbage! So I started applying low carb eating to my usual clean eating ways, and so far, it's working great!
